A New Wave of Quantum Computers: D-Wave to Ship a 2000-Qubit Quantum Computer by 2017

Most advanced computer in the world There aren’t very many companies developing quantum computers right now. Sure, a lot of research about quantum computing is being conducted, but the technology is considered by many to be too unstable to produce a working quantum computer. However, D-Wave seems to have it down. Since producing its first quantum computer in 2011, D-Wave has built a roster of clients that now includes Google, Lockhead Martin, NASA, and the Los Alamos National Library. Now the company is claiming they’ve created a quantum computer that marks a huge step forward from its most current model, which is already considered one of the most advanced in the world. The company promises to release this 2,000-qubit quantum computer by 2017. With double the processing power of its current 1,000-qubit version, D-Wave 2X,…
